www.braingell.com -- At 10:00 P.M. on July 2nd, Jeff Campbell was found expired. He leaves behind a 14 year old son,Drue. I would like everyone to know that he was a good man, and an even better friend. He was a man who only tried to help each and every friend he could. Tragically, he checked out and will be sorly missed. If anyone remembers Ffej, then, you'll remember how much fun he was to be around. Crackin' jokes while running the lights for every band. He also had an uncanny ability to always be on time, in the nick of time, to do his job as Lighting Director. He spent 30 yrs. as an L.D. Seemingly always "ON TOUR" From 1978-1988. For 4 years at The Marquee Nightclub Oct 1988 - April 1993 and 15 years at The Galaxy. 1993 - Jan 2008. I'm still in shock that I lost one of my best friends. I will miss you bro.

Backstage bum wrestling in the backstage lot at the GalixySmoking the cripler and the truth until we would be holding our guts from tears of joy. My saviour my bud I will miss you

Thank you for posting this loving tribute to Ffej.
Jeff left behind so many friends~so many admirers~so many damn people who loved him. I don't know if we can even begin to see the number of lives he impacted.
Thank you, Jeff, for everything you taught me, every kind word and deed. For every day you were my friend. I never took you for granted. And I've always taken great pride in counting you among my dearest friends. You never doubted I cared. And I never doubted you did, either.
Most of us could live twice our lifetimes without ever garnering and deserving so much love, but Jeff was one of those unique people who truly deserved every ounce of love that he received. We are all so incredibly lucky to have had him in our lives.
Too soon, my friend. You have no idea how very many lives you've made better...and we're all so blessed to have known you. We will think of and miss you forever.
We should all be so amazing.
All our love,
Carri, Casey & Richard

The Metal community has lost a true monarch of the stage. Ffej was a great man with a great smile that could light up in any room no wonder he was the LIGHTING GOD of the OC music scene for over 25 years. Ffej you will be truley missed!

You were so welcoming from the first time David (Camera Dave) brought me to The Galaxy. You were such a giver making sure your friends got on your guest list and got to go hang out backstage. We hung out practically every weekend watching you work your light show magic. You were so much fun to be around with your witty opinions about the bands and the words you made up to songs made people laugh so hard they nearly cried. If only I had a dollar for every time you said “Make a hole” to clear a path to run back and forth to do the job you made look like effortless fun but took so seriously. You were such a proud parent when you told me about your son. It was great to see him having fun helping out at shows and hanging out with his cool dad during his visits. Ffej, when I think of you, I will remember you having a big heart, a generous nature, a wicked sense of humor, the coolest nickname in the group, and I will always think of you as being the best light guy in the whole world.

I was trying to put some pictures & then add my comments. The link isn't working so I put a few on my myspace if anyone is interested. www.myspace.com/daynablack.
I met Jeff/Ffej when he was working for Metallica in 92 I think it was & he was so much fun to hang out w/. A really sweet guy who worked his butt off. I tried to call Jeff on July 1st but he was never one who kept on top of his phone & was connected to a Latina woman, I wanted him to join us for Employee Day at Angel Stadium. The next day I heard the news. I miss Jeff so much! My friend Renee & I helped him get his Encyclopedia of Heavy Metal signed by all the Metal bands that came to the Galaxy. I was so looking forward to seeing Jeff at the new venue. Sadly, that will not happen. My heart goes out to his son & family. I am so sorry that a great guy had to leave us. Blessed be.

I met Jeff through his brother Alex. He got me in at The Galaxy where I worked FOH and Monitors from April 2003 - 2004. He will be greatly missed. I spoke with Alex today and they were in the middle of the Funeral arrangements. Looks like Tuesday the 15th @ 1PM - Live Oak cemetary in Arcadia,Ca. Make sure to look for a confirmation post from his brother Alex. Once again, An amazing guy! Can beleive he is gone. Love you Ffej -STAMI

My name is Diana Campbell and I am Jeffs sister in-law. I can't even fathom the idea that he is gone. I haven't gotten over the shock and I am sure I never will. He was the most awesome person and a true friend to all who crossed his path. Always smiling always laughing and always willing to be there for you. Tragically I had planned on going to a upcoming show and now it is too late. So know this Jeff we all loved you each and everyone who met you so leave the light on for all of us so one day we can find you again. Drue is Jeffs son and a very special child because of Jeffs kind soul. Please think of him when you think of Jeff. I will be gathering up pictures of Jeff and Drue and I will post them soon. Peace be with you Jeff love you!

Our thoughts and prayers go out to my brother (Vern) and family over the loss of Jeff from his brother and family (Glynn)in West Virginia. The last time we saw Jeff was in June of 2005 when he and Drue were here to visit his grandmother. We will never forget him trying to teach our grandchildren how to skate board. We love him and will miss him. Glynn, Betty & family

Comment #30 by gridmonk on July 10, 2008 at 7:09pm
i worked with jeff for about two years at the galaxy. I was the associate LD working with him.
From day one he was kind and helpful. he and i remained friends long after those days were gone.
he and i would joke that i learned everything about "splash and trash" lighting from him and he learned all the artistic looks from me. his running comentary on headset would always leave me laughing so hard that i usually missed my spot cue or it would shake while i was holding it. he taught me to appreciate all kinds of music.
whenever i was off on a project of my own and needed help he was always there to help me out. he helped me rig lights for almost all of the plays i designed lights for in these small houses all over so cal. he even flew out to salt lake city when i was new and didn't know who to turn to for help to rig a show.
Where ever i went i usualy tried to drag jeff with me. he loved the galaxy. i could never keep him long.

This Alex,Ffej's little brother , I went to Hollywood last night as a tribute for my brother...I needed to ease my mind...I posted Ffej's tribute flyers all over the outside "band and services" bulletin board,all those band were shitty anyway,thats whta Ffej would have said..Any Dave Mustaine from Megadeth performed a guitar clinic and instructional session,pretty cool . My dear friend Steve McGowan managed to get me in free 3 hours before the show ahead of over 1,000 people standing inline {no chit} amazing move! just like Ffej did for me for years ,I'll post some of the pics here today , The empty seat next to me in the 2ND row/ stageside left was for FFej , I'd like to say
sorry to the pretty girl 6 rows back/center who waived me on to give her that seat,i just couldn't do it,It was FFej's , she then gave me the bird but I'm OK with that,she didn;t know FFej did she??? , I later gave my seat up and 2 others to the metal chicks directly behind mei bailed early cuz FFej wouldhave

hello my name is milo, friend of ffej's for a good 12-13 years. im still floored that this could have ever happened to one the best and bigggest hearted human being iver had the priviledge to call my friend.
weve worked a great uncountable number of shows together in and outside clubs since the day i met him i knew id be in for a great ride as long as ffej was at the wheel.
nothing about this man EVER ceased to to amaze me and to this day i still tell his stories to my friends and associates.
Whats even more overwhelming is the huge impact and response from this.

We are shocked and devasted over your passing. We have struggled for several days trying to find the right words to say. We love you and will miss you very much! Mike, Ashley and I have been talking about past memories of you and we all have the memory of you smiling! You always seemed to have a big SMILE on your face. We will miss that! Our thoughts and prayers are with you and the entire Campbell family. You will never be forgotten and it warms my heart to read all the nice things that have been said about you. Love you always your cousin, Tammy Campbell (Stoffregen), Ashley Stoffregen & Mike Holland

With each memory, let our hearts be reminded that nothing can ever take away beauty we have known, for love remains part of us forever. In ways big and small, Jeff's life changed our world and left it a better place. He touched too many hearts to ever be forgotten.

Comment #45 by Tiltedhalo333 on July 13, 2008 at 11:45pm
I find myself thinking of Jeff every single day. I just remembered a task he often assigned to me during a show. If a band requested something particular regarding the lights before/after a specific song, then he would ask me to hold the set list and keep track of where we were so that he wouldn’t miss his cue to do the special thing that had been requested. This sounds easy since I knew pretty much all the songs and rarely left the booth during a show, except some bands loved to change up the order of the songs with no warning! He would fret over this while making a smart ass remark about it, but we would still get it right! I’ve sent myspace messages to a couple of bands who used to play there all the time asking them to post a comment on myspace/braingell about how great it was to work with him. Hopefully they will get a chance to post something, but I heard them thank “the light guy” before, during and after the show often enough to know they greatly respected his work. Kim

I am truly at a loss for words and (Ffej, Alex, & Vern know that is a true rarity). Ffej -- a truly wonderful human being, man, son, brother, father, and friend. I do hope that you feel the love. You will always be with us. When I a song from one of the hair bands that you so detested, I will laugh at the comments you make and see that huge smile on your face. Thank you for letting be a part of your life and family. I am so sorry that time ran out. We love you Jeff! Fly to the Angels man!
Love, Team Shagnastie (Kerry & Craig)

Hi everyone, this is Tammy and Lexy, longtime friends of the family!!!
The first time we ever met Jeff he had us laughing…. He didn’t have a mean bone in his body and he was always the sweetest guy….. We have many fond memories of Ffeg!!! Just looking at all the “comments” from everyone brings tears to my eyes because he was loved by everyone!!!!!
Lex and I have been looking through old pic’s laughing through our tears at all the fun memories we have being around Ffeg. I used to love seeing him pull up to the house in his little “toy car” and I swear he had an “iron” stomach and could eat anything!
I know Jeff hated conflict and would want everyone coming together to “remember” him. My heart goes out to Alex and Vernal as well as Vern and Lou! I hope that Druii can get through all the hard times right now with his cousins and family. I know how much Jeff loved him!!!
I was glad I could contribute and find the perfect spot for Ffeg’s reception! I know he would have loved it! To have his little brother’s band playing songs for him, I know Ffeg will be rockin right along with them in spirit!
I’ll be passing out flyers at the funeral with directions to the reception.
Lex and I send our love to all of Ffeg’s family!
We will miss him so much…..
Always,
Tam & Lex

Jeff, you will be deeply missed by your Grandmother in WV. It has broken her heart that you have left this earth, may you rest in peace.
Love MaMa Campbell

To My Cousin Jeff,
This is your cousin Brenda from Florida. I am still having a hard time excepting what happened to you
It's like this isn't supposed to happen to our family. I remember the last time I saw you it was when we both were in Huntington WV to visit
Mama you were there with your Mom and Drue. I was so glad that my kids got to meet you...They will always remember the fun trip to the river...
To my Uncle Vern,Emma, Vern Jr. Alex, Drue, and the rest of my family in CA you are in our thoughts and prayers...
Love, Brenda,Jeff,Christian,Wesley,Emily,Rebekah,Jacob and Matthew

Was really great to see everyone at the memorial. Jeff would have really loved it!
I setup a domain http://www.ffej.us and it currently points at the myspace page made by Nicole for Ffej.
So it will be easy to find the myspace just checkout FFEJ.US

Just wanted to let everyone know -
My dad created stickers in memory of FfeJ. A few were passed out at the reception, but as promised - we will be offering them to whoever would like one! =] Just shoot me a quick email through the myspace page http://www.myspace.com/395183993 or at volcombrat@gmail.com - with your name and mailing address.
Also, the laminate backstage passes that were given to family members are also available upon request!
Thank you to everyone for your continous love and support through this hard time.

To My Cousin Jeff,
This is your cousin Cindy Lou!!!in Florida .I'm still having a hard time excepting your passing. I find myself thinking of you every single day. I have very fond memories of us as children growing up, and I guess the last family reunion we had in W.Va. was the last time we spent together. I will always remember the laughs we had. You will be missed, but never forgotten in our hearts. I will miss your smiling face.My heart goes out to Drue he will always be on my mind, I hope he knows what kind of great father he had, he will always have your smile. You have a big heart and a funny sense of humor. I will truly miss you cuz!!! Until we meet again, rest in peace. Our thoughts and prayers to the entire Campbell family, we miss you all at this diffcult time. Love to you all, Cindy,Tim,Corey &Codey

I am still having a hard time accepting your absence. I guess I did take it for granted at times that we would always have that big Ffej smile and incredible laughter. At a family gathering at Vern's, I always expect to walk in to find you telling another great story about work or a hilarious joke. You incredible kindness and big heart are true Campbell Family traits and exactly why we adopted you guys (or forced our way in to your family). You are a truly exceptional person! I thank you for being a friend and brother from another. Thank you for bringing Drue into our lives as well. Your smile and humour does carry on with him. You will never be far from our hearts or minds. Jeff, I cannot believe it...Miss you man! Rock on Jeff!

Hi all, This is what it says on my myspace page & Kim thought I should share it w/ all of you: MY FRIEND JEFF CAMPBELL HAS TAKEN HIS LIFE & HAS FLOWN TO THE ANGELS. I MISS HIM SO MUCH. FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO HAVE EVER PERFORMED AT THE GALAXY THEATER HE WAS THE LIGHTING TECH & HE ROCKED! HE WAS ONE OF THE BEST GUYS OUT THERE! I JUST GOT BACK FROM HIS FUNERAL & HAVE MET SO MANY REALLY COOL FRIENDS & FAMILY OF JEFF & REUNITED W/ SO MANY PEOPLE. IT WAS A GREAT TURN-OUT & I HAVE LEARNED SO MUCH ABOUT HIM THAT I DID NOT KNOW. IT PUT MY QUESTIONS TO REST TO KNOW THAT ALL THE SIGNS POINTED TO HIS TIME TO LEAVE US. SAD BUT TRUE. I FIRST MET JEFF WHEN HE WORKED FOR METALLICA & HE WAS SO FUCKING COOL! FINDING OUT HE WAS A LOCAL BOY MADE IT EVEN BETTER & GOT US ON A BETTER..I'M JUST ONE OF THE GUYS...FRIENDSHIPS. IF YOU KNOW ME, YOU KNOW I AM THE GIRL WHO IS JUST AS MUCH A MALE AS THE REST ONLY I DON'T HAVE THE MALE PARTS....ANYWAY, I WAS LEAVING THE FUNERAL & FADE TO BLACK BY METALLICA CAME ON THE RADIO AS SOON AS WE PULLED OUT OF THE PARKING LOT...THAT MEANT THE WORLD TO ME...ANOTHER SIGN. HE WAS THERE, SAYING GOOD BYE TO ME & MY FRIEND KIM....I BURST INTO TEARS...I COMPLETELY LOST IT. I DON'T CARE WHAT RELIGION OR GOD YOU BELIEVE IN. I BELIEVE IN THE SPIRITS THAT SURROUND US ON A DAILY BASIS, I BELIEVE IN KARMA, I BELIEVE THAT BEING A GOOD PERSON WILL PREVAIL NO MATTER WHAT DIMENSION YOU ARE IN. HE WAS THERE IN THE CAR W/ ME TELLING ME GOOD BYE W/ METALLICA'S FADE TO BLACK. END OF FUCKING STORY. I LOVE YOU JEFF & I WILL ALWAYS MISS YOU, YOU WERE THE BEST GUY I HAVE EVER MET! I HOPE YOUR SON DRuE TAKES THE ENCYCLOPEDIA OF HEAVY METAL THROUGH THE NEXT GENERATION OF METAL SIGNINGS...MY BOOK STILL KICKS YOUR ASS IN THE SIGNING DEPT! :p ROCK IN PEACE MY DEAR FRIEND!
